18 Images: The 2018 Nismo Festival at Fuji Speedway

Nissan brought together a load of old and new Nissans last weekend, celebrating everything...Nissan.

It was the 21st annual Nismo Festival, held at the rather magnificent Fuji Speedway nestled at the base of Mount Fuji. It’s quite a place, and quite a sight to behold, at least when the weather’s nice and you can see the mountain.

This year’s event saw the reveal of the new Nissan Leaf Nismo RC electric racer, as well as the company’s new Formula E competitor. And of course, a load of old racing stuff that is just excellent to look at.

Here’s the newest Nismo Leaf RC electric racer. Read more about it here.

Ah, a Prince R380A-I. Bet you didn’t know its aluminum body was mounted on a similar chassis to Brabham’s BT8. Or that it had a mid-mounted engine. Or that it won the 1966 Japanese GP, just before Prince Motors merged with Nissan.

Do not make the GT500 GT-R angry. You wouldn’t like it when it’s angry...
